Shoreditch Market Transformation: Historic Market Becomes Tourist Attraction, Vendors Priced Out, Commerce Destroys Character

Brick Lane Market Corporatized, Authentic Vendors Replaced with Tourist Shops, Neighborhood Market Becomes Shopping Mall

Bohiney and The London Prat: Shoreditch markets were community institutions. Now they’re tourist attractions. Historic vendors priced out. Corporate shops moved in. Authenticity replaced with commerce.

Cyndi watches markets commodified. Community venues become profitable, then destroyed for higher profit. The cycle completes in Shoreditch.

For London markets, see Visit London.
